Markelle Fultz’s diverse offensive skill set is part of what made him the consensus No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft.
That arsenal apparently includes an uncanny ability to hit one-handed, no-look shots from incredible range.
At the rookie photo shoot on Friday, the Philadelphia 76ers rookie began showing off his proclivity for these shots, tossing the ball up over his head from half-court, then moving back with each shot.

These may not be the type of shots the 76ers ask Fultz to take regularly, but he certainly looks like he’ll be the go-to guy to take a half-court heave this season.
